Hello everyone~! This is Saori from Otaku Republic!

While the spring anime season is in full swing, we're starting to get some exciting news about summer anime too! And personally, this one caught my eye—so I’d love to introduce it to you!

【Summer 2025 Anime】Airing This July! The Latest Work by the Creator of “Hoozuki no Reitetsu” Begins! Ghosts × Dark Comedy – “Dekin no Mogura”!

From the creator of “Hoozuki no Reitetsu” comes a new horror × dark comedy exploring the boundary between life and death! “Dekin no Mogura” begins airing this July!

The artist behind “Dekin no Mogura” is none other than Eguchi Natsumi-sensei, who previously created “Hoozuki no Reitetsu” ! The series has been serialized since 2021 and is already up to volume 8—a well-established long-running title!

The story’s protagonist? A man who’s been banned from Hell!? Set in a modern downtown neighborhood, this fun tale comedically explores those living in the space between the living world and the afterlife.

The protagonist, Mogura, claims to be a 'hermit,' though his background is shrouded in mystery. According to him, he once lived in Hell—but was somehow banished. Now, he collects will-o’-the-wisps in a lantern, hoping to light his way back to the underworld......

Cute × creepy, with a heartwarming twist!
Mogura, unable to ignore those in trouble, begins collecting will-o’-the-wisps through his acts of kindness.

While “Hoozuki no Reitetsu” humorously portrayed daily life in Hell, “Dekin no Mogura” follows Mogura as he helps ghosts and humans with their troubles in order to collect will-o’-the-wisps and find his way back. It’s slightly eerie, yet full of charm—and the animal designs are as adorable as ever! What kind of chaos will unfold this time? The series lets you enjoy spooky yet heartwarming stories without being truly scary—that's the appeal of “Dekin no Mogura”!

I can’t wait for the July broadcast~! While enjoying this spring’s anime, don’t forget to keep an eye on “Dekin no Mogura” too!
